Dark Brown Mink Cape Coat with Batwing Sleeves 9841

Description

There is no armhole in this coat. The sleeve is cut in one continuous piece with the body, deep and open under the arm and narrowing only as it reaches the wrist, which is what a cape sleeve actually means and why it drapes the way it does. Lift an arm and the whole side of the coat lifts with it.

That construction costs skins. A set-in sleeve can be cut from smaller pieces and joined; this dark brown mink cape coat needs long unbroken runs across the shoulder and down the arm, and any join would show as a break in the pile exactly where the eye is drawn. It is the reason capes are made less often than they are asked for.

The colour is a deep natural brown, the most forgiving shade to own and the one that reads as expensive in daylight rather than only at night. Worn open, below the knee. See the brown mink coats, the rest of our mink coats, and our capes and exclusive knits.
